8?IR OF THE PUBLIC JOURNA ,LS. How t:r' . .e high judicial situation, vacant in Iredietn' e b y the death of Chief Baron Joy (a man whose Bterl,.ag pri vate clue dities merited a better fate_ than a pe e n egyrie in the Times), will be disposed of by the Gies ernment, w e are r.ot infi e rmed ; nor do we feel in the least unea s y u p on the sithireet, knowing, from the former promotions in the Irish. law department, that the office will assuredly be be sto wed upon a law)er of reputatiore and a gentleman of -w.ietes. The Times, whose zeal fo r the purity of the Irish. 'ert;.ne is above all praise, evinc es the most lively anxiety .aboat the appointment of the Chief Baron Joy's successor. he be a Protestavie A friend to British eon -election ? A friend of the Established Church ? Will lse by a protector of the Clergy ? Will he assist them in -the legal recewery of their tithes 9 And, finally, v file l e select lists of reputable gentrnmen and J e z , . 44, subjects for the office of High S'aeriff?" All t ‘ jese interrogatories, except the first, we have no h e . s i e atioa to answer in the affira na ti ee . Whet}- ter the mext Chief Baron will be a Protestant or not •,s e cannot say ; but we think we can rece:steet a certain Aet of Par 'Bement (for which the Time', was once as I .olla a blusterer ets Boreas) which declares '.tat it is a peleVect 'matter of in difference whether the, C'aief Baron, or any other public 7 unetionary (with tao 41* three exceptions), be a Protestara or a Papist, The new chief will, however, mest certeirely be a fritter'. to Be itish connect ion. He could not pos be an enemy tcv it, unless Lord Mulgrave wee to I?itele upon an. Orangeman, a thing not much to be dreaded. He , will ale t, in all human probability, be a friend to the Ji.sta iblishe,!i Church, the best act of friendship to that in stitu lat ing to lop off its superfluities, area to cut it down :into 'proportion to justice and Chrielianity. A prra ector 'of the rights of the clergy will he be, and an ' en f orcer of all their claims, legal or equitable ; foe., whether he believe or disbelie - ee in purgatory, the, 'litres mas .be sure that he wil'a be a nean of probit y and honour, a fearless assertor r)? the law& of his country, witree,ut re gard to their - pol.'<ey, and a man in whe em , as in Jud ge Perrin and Baron Richards, the Jr beesole will re .teive an aven-handed dispenser of ju stice- viithout regard to person or to party. Lastly, the n eve r ,liief, we venture to preclhet with the utmost ccrifid'4lt,e, will select for the .< tfice 'of Sheriff " reputable gen . !) .emen and loyal subjects, " axtl none other ;but even were no to neglect his duty in ,his point, and select Orange- .nen, as so many of the Irish :Judges are in the habit of, l 'eoing, th e Times Italy comfort itself by recollecting that teord Mulgrave is able and wil ling to correct the mist Ake, as he has done already in so many striking inseances. The Times has far more pro phetic skill than Murphy, the author of the Weather Almanac. We are ready to stake our existence upon t 1 fulfilment of ear; contemporary's prediction, that the •:a.cant judicial hortieer will be carried off by some on , o f t h e Woulfee, 'O'Loghlins, Perrins, and R,iehatelses," names 'Very properly selected as types o': ‘ every intellectuel, moral, private, and professioreal endowment that nualifi.es a man to hold the scales of justice in any country. Upon what individshel shoulders the ermine .411 fall we repeat again that 'ere have no knowledge. We mere, however, in a situation t o assert that the new Chief Baron will neither be Xt.. Blackburn, nor yet Mr. Ex- Sergeant Lefroy. O'er heart bleeds as we write the nam e of the latter worth h ( and pious gentleman. If ever a.ose devout eyes decl : .ned from their celestial contemplat'ems to visit with thei r spiritual lustre any one of the vile. objects of secular aenbition, that object was the sit ue'Lion of Chief Baron ! ever thought of avarice forced ar, entrance for a moment into that holy breast, it was in the robes of the dignity now ve.cent that the glittering devil bro' e into the tabernacle! If ewer the melodies of earth mingle.d in those ears with the harpings of angels and the hale -d of the saints, the style and title of " Chief Bar an Lefroy" ravished his spirit in its secret calculation's. • Dr. Lefroy received the melan choly tidings of his AP -3 demise with feelings 0, C bu'S Macheth when int' o ..lied of his lady's premature depar ture.: the Ex-Se,- seeant we suppose, exclaimed— . a should ha ve di e d h erea ft er I" Those who have seen th e di sa p po i n t e d d oc t or s i nce his favourite dr "lain of judi c i a l e l eva ti on van i s h e d t h rough tg of vory describe the working of the inner upon the outer map as a most afflicting and terrific spectacle-- "Black he stood, as night, Fierce as ten furies." Al ‘a . alas, in all Gilead there is no balm for this wounded spiree. The very Standard will not weep over his sorrows, io r Dr. Lefroy is down in the list of the igNaruin pce:ts, and was offered a f ew even i ngs ago "a, cheap bargain" t o anybody dispose d to purchase eo perfect a specimen of a Tory crossed i. n the love of pl.acee_Morning Chronicle. The Ministerial prints h ave b een l a b our i ng, w i th a pro fligate and unwearied contempt for truth, to slander the "miuct 'of Sir Robert Peel in respect of the three Irish question es. In a weekly paper of yesterday, which has often served Ministers as a channel for those falsehoods wb . ith there seemed any pressing necessity to circulate on t• I _el Sabbath, the leadin g article begins by expressing- a so '4enan apprehension that the " co»zpromise upon the great national question of Irish poliey is likely to have no result but that of sad disappointment to the empire at large ;" and the writer ea.n find no better way of accounting for this al leged d anger t h an b y b ringing against Sir R. Peel a charge of downright treachery—that is, of palpable inconsistency bet ween his announced intentions as to the Municipal Cor po cations Bill on last Tuesday se'nnight, and his subse all sent treatment of the same measure on the motion for its committal by Lord John Russell on Friday, the Ist instant. Now, if ever there was a pure and unmixed ex eaaple of steadiness of purpose and fidelity to engagements eon any political occasion, it may be alleged of Sir Robert Peel's conduct with reference, not to one merely, but to the whole of those Iris Bills. From the first he declared -that, as regarded the Church Bill, he would have nothing to do with an appropriation clause ; that in the Poor-law Bill he would supreort a system of rating which might be rendered availab;e to the establishment of a qualification for burgesses , ander the Municipa', Bill ; and that he would consent to ao qualification of hewer value than 101., to be determineeA byan actual rate, i .enposed after the returns made by sworn valuators appoir s t e d for that purpose. What evidence, therefore, or - what particle of suspicion, against the fairness a'"..sd honour of Sir Robert Peel's Peel's whole conduct atm be drawn from the above recorded facts ? Wherein / hoes he swerved a single inch from that path which was 'etialkeci out by the Duke of Wellington in the for mer s e esion, and by himself in this, as ,the course which had ...len deliberately resolved upon, and would be rigorouslei adhered to by the Conservative party ? The Ri g ht Ts--lon. Baron e t' s re f usa l to a d m i t a lower franchise than 'chat o f a rated 101. qual i f i cat i on is a direct fulfilment of }' ,is original promise to guard the interests of the Este -IIF :shed Church and of the Protestant community through -out the whole empire ; and his breach of such an obligation wo not merely be despised as a weakness, but resented hX - ere people of England, and by the sound portion of the people of Ireland, as a heinous political injury. Firmness wand the reputation of firmness) itself is power. The statesman truly tenax proposal, at the head of but a hun dred votes in the House of Commons, would be, and ever has been, in the eyes of Englishmen, more formidable than a waverer with the command of thrice t - ,e number. A consciousness of this truth, and a reliance on it, should never be absent from the mind of ar, English politician who is really desirous of making Pu i .die opinion the instrument of public good. Those news- PApers which have hitherto been recognized as organs of the Ministerial Whigs would frighten the friends of law and order in Parliament, by declaiming against a solid quelifica lion for Irish electors, both political and corporate, on the ground, of its not being " popular" enough. If the word Pereuler" had an equivalent meaning in Ireland to that whf:ch it bears among ourselves, there might be some colour oaf reason in such objections. A " popular franchise" among Englishmen conveys to one's mind the notion of a franchise uncontrolled and independent, exercised by the holders of it according to their own free will. A popular, cr in other words a very " extended," franchise, across the Chanuel, signifies in practice nothing more than a privilege vested in an ignorant and superstitious rabble, inflamed by their ambitious priesthood against the Protestant—that in, the British—Government, and in abject vassalage to that hostile and rebellious priesthood. Nominal demo cracy, therefore, in Ireland is a real, grinding, overwhelm ing monopoly, directed and exercised by the Romish hierarchy against the Protestant Church, the British State, and all those institutions whereon our civil rights and liber ties are founded. No such g enuine hatred of human free dom in any one department of public or private life can be found as your clamourer on behalf of so-called " demo crehy," in the priestridden state of Ireland. A multipli ration of such nominal rights in that degraded country is but furnishing the spiritual Briareus with his hundred arms. But who are they that in the present instance cry out for the grant of a factitious id est, an indefinitely low, qualification to the Irish Papists? Messrs. O'Connell and S hail—the 4 ehildree, champions," and sedulous tools of the priesthood. We have alreadyrecommended to the reader's notice some statements made by Mr. E. Macdonnell upon the fitness of these persons to sway the judgment of any one Member of the Impeial Parliament upon questions re lating to Ireland. We urgently repeat that recommenda tion on behalf of an important letter in thi s d ay ' s Ti mes , illustrative of the sincere, straigh°war Respecti ng Mr. f r d, and trust wor thy character o f the above two gentlemen. we need not quote—th e Sheileit is enough to point out Mr. Eneas Macdonnell recalls the w een the assurances uttered by the before the Bill for abolishing the and his obstreperous and terma since that period against the ens led Church—his assuran ces before excitement ever could or would be Catholic p r i es t s or laymen, if th e were once conceded by a relie f would ever again possess a shadow striking terms in'whicb scandalous contrast betty member for :Tipperary ‘ „.--werid"ecia,raittiopikever s of ttiostestablishe ibat no r ftgioisej ) f ex j..„ ielor4d. to n C ;11k.:4: ter *eit ia a VI -- ._-_-..1.1 THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 11, 1838. of infly .enee adverse to tithe or to the Protestant Church— contr./ .sted with his own personal conduct ion tV . ery possii ale occasion since, whP_ n he never scrupled to in the interference of the priests, and their co=opc rat', ma with him i xaspetating the Popish - multitude against the Prote4rant Church itself, as " a Church on ich a faction fattens, by which a nation starves—as a goat moral nD:isance, which Parliament could tot ao.jus lice to helm , d without abating —as an objci.it of deep de testation throughout Ireland, one against vhich common ce,mmon justice, and common humanity revolt," Sze. °" 1 1 'all this may be very soun d an d genu i ne P opery ; b ut on tr part of Mr. Richard Shed we submit, that conside rilv4 his language before emancipation, and with a view to 2 1 ' ;rain emancipation,it is the reverse of " common honesty." r'or Mr. Daniel O'Connell, it is more as a topic for the cu rious in speculations upon The possible extent of systematic knavery and effrontery cothbined, than for the sake of throwing any novel colour upon the morals of that learned ud conspicuous persona, , e, that. we refer our readers to the narrative presented by Mr. Eneas Macilonn;ll of the manner in which five several funds have been disposed of (riot accounted for) under the patronage and guardianship bf Lim who directs the Irish counsels of the Melbourne Ca- wr 3-1 emik-XT El)! t SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock MURDER in the WATERLOO-ROAD. UNION-H ILL.--(THIS DAY.) (Contieued from our First Edition.) In conacquexe ce of the rumours which have been propagated ' this niorni'ag respecting the discovery of additional evidence as to the mysterious murder in the Waterloo-road, the whole of th'at neighbourhood has been all day in the greatest state of excitement ; and a s it was sa id t h at Ilebberd had been again arrested, and would be brought up at three o'clock at Union hall, the street in front of the office was crowded to excess leng before that hour by peol;le anxious to get a glimpse of the man who has attained such unfortunate celebrity. At three o'clock Hubbard was placed at the 'bar before Mr. JEREMY, and charged on suspicion of the murder of Eliza Grinraoo-1. Inspector Field stated that he beard last evening that Hub bard was about to leave the house in the Waterloo-road, and was going to Berkeley-square. Witness watched him, and found that he went to :Mile-End. Witness, therefore, relying on a letter which he had received, and which was p 1 iced in the magistrate's hands Mr, JE.ae MY— YOU must be aware that when a serious clia'"ge of this nature is brought before a magistrate, great caution is necessary that we may not be misled, and therefore I wish to ask you, as you have heard the whole of the facts, whether you believe the statements of this letter can be corro borated, and whether they are borne out by the evidence given upon the inquest, so as to warrant us in placing any reliance upon this anonymous letter? Inspector Field—l have every reason to believe that the gentleman will come f0..-ward. Mr. JEREMY—DO you think the statements in this letter are correct, and that the writer will c mm forward to prove them ? Inspector Field.—l believe the information to be true, but al to saying he will come forward, that is more than I can utelertake. The letter states that he will come forward, if a notice Is published in the Papers. Mr. JEREMY.—Yes, but we cannot advertise the letter. It is impossible that we can advertise for witnesses to support a cliarge of this kind. Can you bring before us any other evi dence, besides this anonymous letter, which would raise a probable ground of suspicion against the prisoner? If you have reasonable ground for believing you can support the charge, that would be a reason for my making further inquiry. Inspector Field.—Hubbard was taken into custody on that letter, and there is a person here who gave evidence at the inquest, and he will state some facts which corroborate the statements of the letter, and I should like your Worship to ex amine the. brother of the deceased. Thomas Grimwood was accordingly examined, and produced a Fair of gloves.—l took them off the table in the prissier ; I thought they might have been left by some one, and I put them in my pocket. Inspector Field here observed that the gloves had never been mentioned in the evidence before the Coroner. Mr. JEREMY—That is a fact which induces me to place credit in tit's letter. That shows the intervention of a third person. Grimwood—l found them on the table in the parlour. They were found in the bed-room at the head of the bed by Mts. Hubbard. Police Sergeant Pike was next sworn. Mr. JEREMY—You went into the room where the body of the deceased was lying the morning after the murder ? Price —Yes, Sir. Mr. JEREMY—Did you see the chamber utensil in the bed room of the deceased? Price—No, Sir ; it was found in the kitchen—it was empty. Mary Fisher was next examined.—Did not make the de ceased's bed. Mistress did so herself. Recollected having emptied the chamber-utensil the evening before the murder, and putting it on the wash-hand stand. Did not recollect seeing it the next morning. Price said it was in no part of the room. Mr. JEREMY then addressed the prisoner—l don't think it right to ask you any question at this stage of the in quiry, because I don't know to what extent the let ter that has been put into the officer's hands is worthy of credit; but where the life of a fellow creature has been sacrificed, even though it may be a great injury to you, it will be my duty to remand you, in order that the matter may be thoroughly investigated. Hubbard—Very well, Sir. Mr. JEREMY—But I say that charges of this nature ought not to be left to anonymous information—for I consider this letter anonymous although it has a signature. A charge of this kind ought to be supported by evidence, and it is the duty of every man, whatever be his rank or property—whether he be the highest Noble or the humblest peasant, if he does know facts which would prove the guilt of any person in such a case, it is his bounden and sacred duty to come forward. If one-half of the statements contained in this letter can be proved, it would go most conclusively to fix the guilt upon some person or other. Hubbard was about to speak when Mr. JEREMY said, I have no objection to hear any thing you may wish to say, but it must be with this caution—that you are aware that every word you utter will be taken notice of, and may be brought against you hereafter. Hubbard—Very well, Sir ; it is only a few words I have to say about my going away from the house last night. I was pressed by Mr. Grimwood to leave the house whilst the noise was going on, and he gave me souse money to go down to my mother's, to stop until he had sold the things, and settled the affairs. I took 1/. los. from him, and he told me that it would last me a few days till such time as he had sold the things, and then he would come down and see me. I was obliged to go round to Doughty street, to where my sister was, because she had the key. She was very ill in bed, and persuaded me to go down to Charles's house—that is the place where the Inspector found me. That was the reason of my leaving the house. I was persuaded to go away by Mr. Grimwood, but I was very loth to go. gis4NtriarieGrimwood t h o e r m e e m n a t o e n s t o o m t e h c s e o bservations, riean t any b c u o t m t m h rn k a a - - tion which he had to make.

THIS DAY. (Continuos. from our First Edition.) WOODSTOCK. James Giles exami•aed by Mr. AUSTIN—The house of Prior consists of a small front shop, a room behind, a cellar, and three bed-rooms, including the attic. I value the pre mises at 9/. 6s. I con cider it as a weekly tenancy, and made my valuation at 4s. pcr week, deducting the rates at 11. 2s. The yearly valuation w [mid be about 21. less than the weekly. Cross-examined by Mr. ROGERS. —I made the valuation yesterday.—(Laughte 1..) I had no instructions whatever, except to set a valuation on the house. I was tent by Mr. Westell. The house: is near the Market-place. Mr. Henry North, the landlord of the house, deponed that he let the house to Prior by the quarter, at the rate of 101. per year. He (Mr. North) paid the rates and taxes, which amounted to about 30s. a year. The value of the house is Si. to 8/. los. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER.—I remember Prior's case coming before the Revising Barrister. I was the only person examined against the vote. Prior's brother was ex amined in support of the vote. Sometimes the rent is paid quarterly, sometimes - yearly, and sometimes half-yearly. The house is let quarterly. I think I let the house for 3/. a quarter for a year. That was in 1534. The rent was paid half yearly. _ Re-exa'mined.—lf I had let it for the year I would have taken 101. Mr. AUSTIN then proceeded to address tie Committee in support of the objection, and Mr. TIIESSIGETZ was heard on the other side. The room was then cleared for about half an hour. On our re-admission, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had decided that the vote must be struck off the 1011. They had also come to this resolution,—_'s That the v. ords in section 27 of 2 William IV. c. 45, the clear yearly vatic of not less than 101.," mean a yearly value of 101. exclusive of the amount of the parochial rates assessed on the tenant." Thomas Crofts was objected to on the same ground—in sufficiency of value. The evidence in this case was similar to to that given on the last vrith the exception of the valtle, which appeared to be ul. 103. according to the calculations of Mr. Williams, and Ss. 61 por vvock accord ing to Mr. Odes, subject to a deduction of IL 2s. for rate. Oa the other side witnesses were cal'ed, who proved the payment of la a . year for rent. The Committee retained thy► vote. Henry Bayliss was next objected to on the same ground. The case bad not been concluded when the Committee adjourned. I MPER lAL PAR.LIAM ENT, (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. Mr. BARNEI3Y brought up a Report from the Select Committee on Hi:lhways. Mr. FRE SHFIELD brought up a Report from the Corn-. mittce on Public Petitions. Sir M.

Mr. WARD presented a petition from Sheffield against any adlitional endowments to the Scotch Church. BEER BILL. Mr. PARKER presented a petition from tl e same plice against the Beer Bill. POSTAGE. Mr. GA SK ELL presented a petition from the Editor of a Yorkshire Newspaper in favour of a uniform peony postege. Colonel VERNER presented a petition from the Apothe. caries of Armagh and its vicinity against certain clauses in the Medical Charities Bill, and ten petitions from the same county praying for the restoraiion of the suppressed sees. Mr. HALL presented a petition from Marylebone, praying that the St. Pancras Paving Bill be refer. ed to a SJleet Committee. Colonel C ONO L LY presented two petitions from Donegal, praying for the aboUtion of Negro Apprerviceship. Mr. COLQUHOUN presented three petitions, praying for the suppres,lon of Hindoo Idolatry ; aid a petition from Forfar against any further endowment to the Church of Scot land. Mr. WARD said that, just before the adjournment for the holi days. he wished to obtain the priority in giving notice of a motion, and for that purpose he complied with the forms of the House. He put his name down the first on the paper, and was in his place at five, when the adjournment was moved. The Speaker called his name the first on the paper, and he immediately gave notice of a motion for Tuesday, the 19th of June. He now found that his notice was inserted second on the paper stead cT first, and as this was a point of some interest to his constituents he did not wish to give way if he was entitled to the priority. Sir E. - COD RINGTON sail that the Speaker called his name first, and he immediately handed in his paper. The SP E AKER did not know that he could settle it other wise than by referring to the Clerk's entry. Mr. WA RD trusted that in future the original papers would be preserved. . After some further discussion, which was not heard in the gallery, the conversation dropped. Mr. ING HAM presented apetition from Sunderland ag,inst the Postage Bill. Sir A. Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, then appeared at the table, and summoned the Members of the House to the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills, for which see Lo , ds' Report. NATIONAL LOAN FUND. Mr. HALL said on Wednesday next he should ask the President of the Board of Trade whether he intended to bring in a Bill to amend the Letters Patent Act of last year ; and if he answered in the affirmative he should then ask on what day he intended to bring in that Bill, because there were se veral Bills at present standing over until that Bill should be brought in. Mr. P. THOMSON had stated on a former occasion that he intended to bring in a Bill which had already been drawn to amend the Letters Patent Act passed during the last Session. It was quite out of his power to say when that Bill would be discussed, but he would bring it forward as speedily as possible. Mr. HALL felt committed to the House, in consequence of the permission given to him to carry the second reading of the National Loan Fund Bill, not to take any step with regard to it, if there was any chance of the Bill of the Honourable Member being brought in early. It was impossible that this Bill (the National Lean Fund) could be much longer delayed, and unless the Right Honourable Gentleman brought in his Bill in the course of this week, he (Mr. Hall) must proceed with the other.) FACTORIES' BILL. Lord ASHLEY gave notice that on Friday, the 22d of June, when the Order of the Day for the second read ing the Factories' Regulation Bill should be read fo r the of o 0 13 a t r u t re:,naotcsi Factories, i o f e f s it h h a c e n d S a m o c u ak o s r e e e rtoal resolutionetahie. n s tga tthe o f e C x air, p h the r esa he s w iy f e o r o s i f the o th u lerd call egul regreta t t i o h o n e f the House that such a state of things should be allowed to exist so long without amendment—( Hear, hear) —and lest he might take the Noble Lord by surprise, he would now state that he would most assuredly bring forward that motion, and although only one or two gentlemen should concur with him, he would take a division upon it. ELECTION PETITIONS. Sir ROBERT PEEL brought in a Bill for amending the laws relating to the trial of election petitions. He was anxious to bring it forward for discussion at an early hour, when there was a prospect of a larger attendance, but he was in the hands of the Noble Lord. The Bill was one so far of general inte rest as that it could not be considered in the light of one brought in by a private Member of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL had stated to the House that there were several Bills brought in not only by the Government, but by private Members of the House, which should be considered. Having already arranged that Orders of the Day should take precedence of notices he was deprived of the p owe r of acced ing to the proposition now made by the Right Hon. Baronet. Sir R. PEEL then gave notice that he should move the second reading of the Bill on Wednesday week. Lord MAHON thought it would be more convenient, if the Noble Lord would name some day for the second reading of the Bill, when there would be a certainty of its coming on. On Wednesday week he thought there was business before the House that would prevent its coming on. Lord J. RUSSELL thought it would be desirable that such a course should be adopted, but he did not feel that he was called upon to name any day—that was with the Right lion. Baronet. Mr. E. TENNENT wished to ask the Noble Lord oppo site (Morpeth) when the Irish Estimates would be brought o❑ ? Lord MO lI,PET H said that the Secretary of the Treasury would bring them forward, but from the present state of bust nets he court' not say en what day he would bring them forward. Mr. MACLE AN begged leave to ask whether the Go vernment intended t.) institute any Committee of Inquiry into the working of the National System of Education in Ireland ? Lord MORPETH said the Government had nu such in tention. Mr. MACLE A N would then give notice that when the Irish Estimates were moved he would move the appointment of such a Commitue of Inquiry. Mr. CRESWELL wished to know whether the Noble Secretary for the Home Department. in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, could inform him when the House might expect an answer to the Address respecting the Danish claims. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not at present give an answer to the question. Mr. CRESWELL gave notice that he would put the question to the light Hon. Gentleman when he saw him in his place. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELA ND.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL , in risin g to move the f ur th e r progress of this Bill would say , by wa y of preface to the motion, that the House in gener al w ould feel it t o b e pro uoo forma, re convenient and without o th e having b i ar e i e n n g regula r lygene through d idiscussed, Committee e ussed , that should b e recomm itted, rather than that the discussio n s h ou ld be taken upon the bringing up of the Report. He therefore moved that the Bill be recommitted. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair, Mr. O'CONNELL rose and said—l request the indul gence of the House while I attempt to give reasons why this Bill should not be re-committed at present. My object in delay is, that I may have an opportunity of maturing such materials as have come into my possession lately, so t h at I may be enabled to show the House that the proposed plan ought not to be adopted, especially with regard to the City of Dublin. I mean to call the attention of the House to the particular situation in which the franchise in that city is placed, and to show the impossib litv of giving a good municipal franchise to the electors of that city, unless the House was in po2session o f more facts than it at present had knowledge o f . when a prospect was held out of conceding to the Irish p eo pl e municipal institutions—when it was discovered in Ireland that the Opposition party in this House had given up their inten tions of destroying the Municipal Corporations, it was recelved with unmingled satisfaction, and the lurking suspicion which dwelt upon my mind, that it would all turn out a delu sion did not rind place in the breasts of my countrymen. In order to understand the sentiment that thus pre vails, the Home ought distinctly to know what it is the • people of Ireland require in tuts respect. They know Scotland has got a Cori.crate Ref,;rm Bill Linen the Parliamentary franchise. They know that ' England has got a Municipal Reform Bill under another franchise. In ' England arid Scotland the Parliamentary franchise is different. In Engla n d i t d e p en d s on t h e ra ti ng o f t h e party f or t h e poor . 1 Each requires residence. The residence is required to he longer in England than in Scotland. The Eeelini, Pcor-law Bill is Coupled with the necessity of triennial residence, and pay ment of rates, previous to the registry. It is desired to get either the Scotch plan or the English plan, and it is possilitle to realise it in every thing but in the payment of poor rates, which, of course, cannot be expected in Ireland, and there fore calling for the English plan would be an absurdity on the face of it, there having been no poor rates there. The Government proposed a residence of six months prior to the registry, a payment of the triennial poor-rates. That was thought too short a period by the Ri;eht H ‘nourable Baronet, and ha substituted one years' resi denee in place of a half year. That was his proposal. I am rsady to acc.'de to his proposal—of course I am speaking of the substitute for the by-gone payment of Poor-rates. His proposal was to substitute an actual •rest deuce of twelve months. I adopt his substitute, and adopting Iris substitute in every other respect, I call on the House to give to the people of Ireland either the English or Scotch Bill. In the circumstances in which Ireland now is, I would infinitely prefer the Scotch ss stem. It is more simple, and it aff rids ma terials which we have iii Ireland. If the House would give us the Bill, with the Scotch municipal franchise, I will accept it cheer fully and gratefully. But if the House refuses us the 1311, which I should prefer, and give us the English Bill, identifying us witi. English instieseions in this respect, I will adopt it at once, although reluctantly, on account of its compneatieee. But I will receive it as a matter of coeciliatien ai=d justice, to Ireland. I want either the one Bill or the other. Yeu have the materials for it in the Scotch Bill ; and I suppose we shall have the materials soon in the English Bill, as the Irish Porr-laws Bill has passed the House; so that we may be identi fled with England in this respect. But we ought to have one or ' the other. There is no ju,titiable pretext for giving us a third measure. There may be a reason which is not avowed—to diminish the franchise and lessen the number of the elec tors. That reason will not be avowed.—( Hear, hear, hear.) But that alone can be the reason why we a-e refused either the English or Scotch system. Therefore it is, I imprecate the plan of the Right Eton. Baronet. If you employ a rating, fixed at a particular sum, you must restrict the franchise, by trammels which do not exist in England or Scotland.—(Hear.) I wish to put the question so, that the House should have before it the state of the Parliamentary franchise which is unincum bared by the detaile—by one-half of the charges which the Right /ion. Baronet wi,hes to impose on the Municipal deform Bill. Let the House compare the population of Dublin with its Parliamentary constituency, and then ' , ay, will it be justice to limit the municipal constituency in the same way. The inhabitants of Dublin are 265,316. There are districts in the county of Dublin that are not inelu ded in the Parliamentary boundary of the city, the population in these amounting to something like 40 or 50,000. I leave these out of the calculation. I speak of nothing but what I have documents fur, and the 265,316 I have the Parliamentary returns of 1831. The House ought to be curl ms to know how many voters are among :them. They do not amount to four thousand. The entire of the constituency that voted in Dublin at the last election run thus—the great est number, 3,556, voted for me, and nearly the same number for my Honourable Colleague ; 3,467 voted for the defeated candidates ; and these were compounded thus-1,886 were freemen: of these 136 voted for the sitting members, one thousand seven hundred and fifty for the defeated candidetes. The municipal franchise is to be found among the residue of the constituency. That is composed of leaseholders and free holders on the one hand, and householders or. the other. The leaseholders and freeholders who voted for the sitting Members were 1,590, for the defeated candidates 1,065, making together 2,655. The householders who voted for the sittieg Members were 1,830, and for the defeated candidate, 652, making altogs (her 2,182. It is amongst these that you tiea to lied the Municipal constituency. Supposing the !Munii i, al an 1 Parliamsntary constituencies to he identical, have we the materials for finding them ? But there must be considerable deductions from this. In the first place the holders consist of 501. freeholders who are not bound to reside _next of 50'. re it-charges who are not booed, aed do not reside—ofi 201 freeholds r; and 201 rent-el argers who do not reside ; and from the class of 101. freeholders ar d landholders will the municipal constituency be found. There are, t .ere fore, certainly only one-sixth of these 2,482 who being 101. freeholders and liousehoners will be at once transrerrrd to municipal electors, if the municipal law and the Parliamentary franchise are to be synonymous. Add 600 to these, and you will have 2,500 or 3,000 at the utmost, infinitely too small a franchise. Take it at 4,000, and the franchise is still miserably small, and is there any man in this House who would be disposed to lessen this franchise. Take the towns in England—take Leeds, which has a population of 150,000, and you will find that they have there 25,000 voters. Take Dublin, and behold what your Reform • Bill Ins done for us—see what a gross injustice has been perpetrated in the shape of a Parliamentary Reform Bill—you have struck down by your vexatious regulations, in a population of 265,000 — nearly double that of Leeds—the voters are only 5,000 at the utmost. The Noble and Learned Member proceeded to say, was that to be made the basis of inflicting teem Dublin a greater wrong ? He might be asked what it was thee prevented franchise being more extensive in Dublin ? He would tell the House it was the high state of the taxation which might be placed under five separate heads ; the voter could not be , registered unless he had paid those taxes—ho must pay the Watching and Paving Tax ; he must pay the Wide-street Cess, and the Pipe Water Cess, and in addition to this he ' would now be called upon to pay the Poor-rate, the Insurance of the value of the premises, and the annual estimate of the repairs ; those three additional taxes must be paid before a party could register. What would be the consequence of introducing such taxes ?—( Cries of " Hear.") The Hon. • Baronet proposed a Poor -rate, and that there should be , a 101. franchise. Who was to pay that ? Not the landlord In Ireland the landlords never paid such taxes. He never paid taxes for keeping premises in repair, or the insurance to the value of the premises, and the consequence therefore would , be that upwards of one thousand voters would be dis franchised.—( Hear.) If the House meant by this measure to insult Ireland, as it had been so often insulted, it perhaps was a matter of little moment; but if they meant to effect good for that country, he called upon them to . hesitate before ' they sanctioned a scheme that would be productive of so ' much iejury. The Right Hononourable Baronet had said that all that he wanted was a criterion of the value. Was such a thing, he( Mr. O'Connell) would ask, wanted in Dublin? The fact was, that when the Right Honourable Bart. was in the Ministry he had passed a Bill to value the whole of the houses in Dublin, and a commission was is sued. Two Tory surveyors were appointed, who had valued the whole of the houses in the city of Dublin, They had not only valued the houses, but they [had given a description of what each tenement contained, and a more complete or particular valuation had never taken place. before the Committee on fictitious votes the case of Dublin was many days considered, and there was no proof that there were any in that city—the only evidence on the case was that of a popular elector who gave the Chairman, who was a Conservative, the credit to say that he was too particular. They had already de graded Ireland ; were they then to go on anti increase the burden and vexation already existing. In the Scot tish Bill the Municipal franchise was the same as the Parli amentary one. Why, then, not allow the same principle to prevail in Ireland ? He wanted no more than that the franchise should be only that which had been clearly admitted on the records of the House. If the House consented to the adjournment which he proposed, he would be able to lay before them a statement which would demonstrate the injustice of persevering in such a course as was poheed out by the Right Honourable Baronet. If the Bill were mice carried, he knew how he would be met with the cry of .. the Church in danger" and .. No Popery." He knew the difficulty of in creasing the franchise, and he did not wish to decrease it. Up to the period of the Parliamentary Reform Bill the rights ti ere not wily unknown but negatived. The Common Council or the Board of Aldermen could refuse any man who applied for his freedom in right of birth, servitude, or marriage, without as signing an y reaso n. Nobody s y m p at hi se d w i t h him, but there was, forsooth, exceeding danger of letting in the Parlia mentary franchise; and what was the Parliamentary franchise , after all? It was the management of the town, the I keeping of the peace of the town, superintending the watch anti superintending the police, furnishing streams of water to the town, and doing all those things that interest every individual. It was on this franchise that all their apprehen sion of having poor voters readmitted existed. Upon the great Parliamentary franchise, that was to be the source of legislation for the nation, and government to the country, they were careless. They were ready to augment the number of freemen, but they had been taken away from the town and the Municipal institution, and had inflicted them with a sor t of paralytic stroke—the Municipal side was dead, but they were in life on the other side—the Parliamentary franchise. He suggested the propriety of postponing this, in order that he should be able to give in detail to the House this enormous diminution of the franchise--not in the general terms in which he had given it now, but in the arithmetical exactitude in which he should be able to give it them, and the House would then have the o pportunity of deciding upon it. He wished to call the a'Wenfon of the House to the enormity which existed at present in the elective franchise, which they wished to perpetuate in the municipal franchise. They wanted to perpetuate the payment of all taxes. No burgess, according to this plan, could register until ire had paid all taxes except those rated within the three preceding months. The Grand Jury Cess was laid in Dublin from the sth of January in every year, for that year prospectively'. .That was a monstrous inconvenience. The words in the Reform Bill appeared to be equivocal on the subject, and two Committee s w hi c h h a d sat h a d d ec id e d t h at t h e voter was not bound to pay that tax in advance, but the Barrister registered no one who had not pail in advance. He wanted to bring all those details before the House, so as to have no doubt, and he claimed the short postponement for one week, when he would be prepared with documents to shew that the present Bill would not give mere than a consti tuency of one-half per cent., or not more t h an 15,000 or 2,000 for the whsle constituency. Should the House persevere, he im plored them to remember that the extent of his demand was was to identify Ireland with England and Scotland. Let there be no difference between the three parts of the empire, as it was said they were identified by the Union.—( Hear, hear.) He called on the House to give Ireland the same muni cipal institutions with England or Scotland.--( Hear, hear.) He was instructed by his constituents that he would have in his hands the fullest details, and he would therefore move as an amendment that the Bill be committed, or as the forms of the House were, that the Speaker do leave the chair that day week. Mr. HUME seconded the motion. I , aving risen for ;ow.a morntnts afik Speaker had put the question aad amendment, much laughter was excited on the oppositiop side of the House s when— Lold J. RUSSELL eventually rose to address it. The Noble Lord said he Nei; not a,t;ire ir:Wr his rii;itiel on soon a question co u ld m!ea,ion ccv iaogilter in rho House..

PEEL conceived the N.,ble Lord bad charge of the Bill. If he (fir R. Peel) had made such a proposition at so advanced a period of the Session, it might naturally be in ferrod thvt ho wishe3 to postpone the consideration of the Bill for another S. scion.—( Loud cheers.) If the, Noble Lord made his election to pos`ponethe Bill, standing th-'re as the representative of the Government, the House could not interfore. -( Hear, bear.) Ile ( Sir R. P, el) cer tainly would not recommend its po,tponeinent. He would leave it to tit, Noble Lo.d to determine whether he would postpone the Committee or not. -Lord JOHN RUSSELL thought it would be much better for the House to go into Committee to-night. Considering rite number of Members present, he thought whatever was determined in Committee that an upper: unity should be afforded to the Honourable and LeArn: - 'd c nlx.r of stating the f..cts to which he h. d adverted, relative to the city of Dublin. He thought that the fac s showed a diff,rene tween the City of Dublin and other towns in Ireland and this country and he thought the Bill ought not to pass through the House, without the case of Dublin being considered. But the Home might now go into Commitoee, and take the gene ral question of the franchise. The question was then put on the amendment and nega tived without a division, and the House went job Committee. (LEFT SITTING). :_. _ HOUSE OF LORDS.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 9. HOLE V. ESCOTT. This is an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Roth. Mr. Hugh Escott, under a marriage settlement, executed in 1804, was entitled to a life-interest in certain freehold pro perty, with a power of appointment jointly with his wife, fur the benefit of their children, the wife having also a separate power of appointment in the event of her surviving her hus band. In 1830 Escott became bankrupt, and in 1831 he exer cised his power of appointment, in conjunction with his wife, in favour of two of their children, the present defendants. The assignees under the commission sold the interest of the bankrupt in the property, and it was purchased by a Mr. Hole, under whom the plaintiff claims. The question in the cause is, whether the bankruptcy did not so operate as to take from the bankrupt the power of appointment under the mar riage -settlement, and vest all his interest, after the death of his wife, in his creditors. The Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the bankruptcy did so operate, that the plaintiff had no power to exercise any appointment in favour of his children, and that the joint appointment of the husband and wife, and separate appointment of the wife, were equally Wicaam was heard on Wednesday in support of the decree of the Court below. Sir W. FOLLETT now appeared for the defendants. The Loan CHANCELLOR took time to consider his judgment. COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, JUNE 9 BLUNT V. iIASLOP. This was an action on an attorney's bill. At the trial of the cause it appeared that the bill was delivered on the 12th July, and the action was brought on the 9th February. It was objected by the Counsel for the defendant that the plaintiff could not maintain the action, inasmuch as the bill had not been delivered one month before the action was brought. A verdict was taken for the plaintiff subject to a motion on this objection. Air. ALEXANDER accordingly obtained a rule for setting aside the verdict and entering a nonsuit. Mr. CHANNEL showed cause against the rule. The Court made the rule absolute for entering a nonsuit. ROLL'S COURT, JuNE 9. DAVIDSON AND OTHERS. V. THE MARCHIONESS OF HASTINGS. Mr. KINDERSLEY moved for an order to reverse a sequestra tion against the most Noble the Marchioness of Hastings, Countess of Loudon, under which her property at Kensington had been seized by the officers of this Court. The plaintiffs, executors of the late Mr. Lyne, to whom the late Marquis of Hastings and the Marchioness had given a joint bond for an advance of 8,0001., had filed a Bill against her Ladyship, while residing out of the jurisdiction of the Court, and had served the letters missive and processes at a furnished house rented by her at Kensington ; but as it is necessary before a sequestration could issue to make a service of the provisional order on her Ladyship personally, they waited upon her at Loudon Castle, in Ayrshire, Scotland, and there served her. The Learned Counsel contended, first, that the leaving the letters missive at the house at Kensington was not a regular and legal service ; and secondly, that the service of the con ditional order was irregular and void. Lord LANODALE would see if he could not find some cases in elucidation of the point mooted before he gave his judgment. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jun vi 9. FENDALL,/). NGAKEs. This was an action brought to recover 331., the amount of a tavern bill. The plaintiff was a widow. and the landlady of the Exchequer Coffee-house, Palace-yard, and the defendant was an attorney, of Charlotte -street, Bedford -square. The trial took place on Wednesday last at th e S ess i on House, Westminster, before Justice Bosanq ue t, w h en a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 51. The Court granted a rule Nisi. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 9. A " DESIRABLE TENANT." George Board was opposed by Mr. Cooke for his late land lord, a Mr. Seager. The insolvent, a chairmaker, took a house monthly of Mr. Seager, and stocked it with "pigs." They were noisy inhabitants. Mr. Stager gave him notice to quit his pre mises; he refused; his pigs continued on the premises; and to Fan possession of his property Mr. Seager brought an action of ejectment. Still this " desirable" tenant held possession ; and at length a verdict was given and possession obtained in the due course of law. The insolvent was then non est inventus, and on being captured for the costs, petitioned the Court for his discharge. The complaint on the part of Mr. Seager was that he had been put to 271. expense by the conduct of the insolvent. The Insolvent was discharged.

Whether the ps - iooleof Ireland be really " a justice loving people," a' has been f'o often said l a id written, I shall not now undertake to prove ; but certain it is, that if !Menisci interest and curiosity about the ap pointment of the functionaries of itislice be any proof of their innate love of the goddess Astrza or Themis—.l do not know to which of those divinities the presidency- of the temple is to be assigned—their conduct on certain occrsions indicates a strong inclination' that way .

E int Grey Governri n Ctit Mime" , ilately after its first fin Illation. His death is regretted by all who ani preciate ugh le;,al attainments and an independent mind. But h h Yvhlc eulogium stops here. At no time during the eventful period at livel were his talents exercised in sympathy with the great rnajorifY of his countrymen; touch less was be distinguished for ever approvil of that line of policy by the a.tvecates of which he was promot ed ; s.nce his elevation to the 13:11ch his excellent qualities as a Jlidge have only been obscured by his manifest partisanship, whenever an oppor: tun:ty of disclosing his political bias presented itself—Requiese ,t t To 1.11 up the different vacancies in stations that may be ef ea t ; by his death, is now the busy employment, not only of the legal don, but of all the quid looms, who are net a few, of this m etro, t he, The fillowlng are the changes likely to take place, according to le., most authentic, I should perhaps say,plausible rumours:—The Attorn -tr General, Woulfe, to be Chief Baron of the Exc:iequer ; Sergeant the' Member for Clonmel, to be Attorney-General ; and Mr. Curry, Member for Armagh, to be third Sergeant, vice Ball. It is Yet un known who will succeed the Attorney_General as representative 0' Cashell—Messrs. Moore, Pigott, and Fogarty are respectively mei!' doom! ; but from the best information I can collect, it is extremq doubtful whether any one of these gentlemen will offer himself. should say the two last gentlemen will not. But there ,are liberal rilea enough in Dublin ready to start, should no Whig Barr:Ater be am bilious of succeeding to the present Attorney_General. t ta ke I give this as the most probable account of the changes tha t ss1;• place in consequence of the Chief Baron's decease. It is right, I ` ,°% : c ever, to state, that other changes are very generally spoken of in 1 % profession. It is said, thr example, that Baron Richards, fourth of the Exchequcr, will he made Chief of that Court, the present Ate torney-General taking his place; and Mr. Brady, thsi S o li c itor, tobec orn , Attorney-General. The professional merits, both or Mr. Richards ar but a' , of Mr. Brady, would perhaps entitle them to this twom otion ; they have never been in Parliament, it is thought that th e y will rgulain where they are at present. tAch The discussion between the Rev. Messrs. Gregg and Mi ire, 1 6 .• has occupied so much of public attention for some days pas:. , termitfateof o 4 today, to the great satisfaction of the sober part of the cm`UntAnity all persuasions. There are, and will be, different opinions 1 try merits of the combatants and 'their different doctrines ; but it it lei', doubtful whether the cause of morality, truth, or true rellzion , is in' °- least promoted by the wordy conflict, which lasted nine days I have just heard that Mr. Blackburne, who had been Attornei' General during the Wellesley, Anglesea, and Haddington Governmen ts,. has gone to London to seek the Chief Baron's place. It is said he 11 0 " a pledge and promise from Earl Grey's Governmorit, of which he noc' seeks the fulfilment.
